NJ State Offices Closed on Inauguration Day
During a recent press conference, New Jersey Governor Phi Murphy announced he s closing all New Jersey state offices for the day tomorrow (Wednesday, January 20th), inauguration day, out of an abundance of caution, according to NJ.com. All state employees have been told to work remotely for the day.
Even though there is no known threat of violence at this time, the Governor is being extra cautious since the violence at the U.S. Capital Building last week, which left five people dead. Murphy said, “We felt that was right thing to do given the level of tension right now in the county. The Governor also advised all New Jersey residents to lay low for a few days.
